The N.Z. Journal of Science and Technology for September refers to the catching in Cook Straits of a specimen of Salmo salar by Island Bay fishermen. : ‘This discovery constitutes something of a record in the sixty years’ history of numbers of unsuccessful attempts to establish the Atlantic salmon in New Zealand. It is possible that we have at last produced, or chanced upon, a race of salmon suitable to New Zealand.” It is interesting to note that for a number of years Atlantic salmon have been regarded as established in the South Island.
